The role of advection in the diffusioosmosis of an active micropump — •Gonçalo Antunes1,2, Paolo Malgaretti1,2, Jens Harting3,4, and Siegfried Dietrich1,21MPI-IS, Stuttgart, Germany — 2U.

Diffusioosmosis can be exploited to fabricate active colloids that swim in a fluid/solute mixture through a self-generated inhomogeneous concentration of solute [1]. Using the same mechanism, an active channel can be fabricated such as to pump fluid in a way that is tunable via the geometry and chemistry of the channel.

In this talk, we study the flow inside an active hourglass-shaped channel. Our Lattice Boltzmann simulations are combined with a finite-difference solver for the advection-diffusion equation that determines the solute dynamics [2]. We find that even when the channel is fore-aft symmetric, advection can lead to the pumping of fluid, in analogy to the steady motion of isotropic colloids [3,4]. Furthermore, sustained oscillations are found where the magnitude of the flow oscillates with a tunable frequency. Our findings are thus relevant for those who wish to exploit surface-driven flows at small scales.
